TLDR : Answer Summary
Several options exist for affordable phone service in Thailand, notably AIS with plans around 200B per month for unlimited data, available at local shops like Jungceylon. Other competitive providers include DTAC and True, with similar offerings. Users recommend avoiding purchases at the airport and suggest seeking deals at regular phone shops or convenience stores like 7-11. For long-term stays, AIS may offer bundled deals with TV services, including free SIM cards with unlimited data.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

If you plan on staying long term and get a tv package. AIS had a deal where you get a free sim card with unlimited data, but charges for phonecalls. I believe it is 699 a month for AIS fibre. I’ve been using the SIM card in my mini iPad for the last 3 years. It’s awesome. I make all calls via line app anyways.

They're all pretty similar, DTAC, AIS and True. Get hooked up at any phone shop or 7-11.

AIS, 200B p/m unlimited data, got it on Thai airways. Registered it at AIS shop in Patong during sandbox (Jungceylon). Good service, decent data speeds, streams Netflix no problem.

Yeah they also got higher speed for 300 THB. I noticed they got some good packages if you use Rabbit LINE Pay. Because I had some issue buying the my old package in the app.
